Well...a condom would let nothing through.

Are you saying you're a broken condom?

Have a high res version

At least this is money primarily going to UK workers.

Trident pisses me off because it buys missile we're perfectly capable of designing and making ourselves. Relying on another nation for last resort national defence is bonkers if you have the choice.

Isn't that 2020 thinking?

Ukraine has show how they are vulnerable.

It's Trident.

Andy Burnham is expected to unveil on Thursday an £8.4bn investment for the UK's next generation of nuclear submarines.

Aimed at preparing Dreadnought-class boats for service by the 2030s, the nuclear-armed vessels are set to replace the current Vanguard-class and will be equipped to launch Trident 2 D5 ballistic missiles

This is on top of £16B since the 2020 defence spending report, and £30-40B before that (Wikipedia is a bit fuzzy on some of it). This is sunk-cost spending (no pun intended). There's no other option except cancel the program.

...and none of it covers the missiles, which isn't an independent system.

We need to have much better government procurement oversight. Contract values need to be understood properly upfront. Bids are intentionally low, with companies knowing that once they're "in" costs can go up and they'll get paid. It's a well understood strategy, but it continually happens.

The problem with slop code is not superficial.

The game the machine is playing is " reproduce text that looks like all the other text you've seen before". As such the code will look good, read well, etc. The problem is that the problems are hidden. Incongruent logic between parts of the same program. Subtle "unintentional" behaviour. Bug fixes which force an outcome rather than remove a fundamental issue.

Apart from excessive verbosity it can be hard to see the issues.

I always explain this "nudification" process as...

You know how if you put black bars over someone in a bikini or speedos, and suddenly they look naked? You haven't seen the person naked, but you've got a good idea what they look like naked because your brain filled in the gap. It's exactly what the diffusion model is doing.

I'm not sure it's realistic to stop the models doing it entirely given how they work. If you want it to fill in the background when you cut your ex out of a photo, it's going to fill in any other gaps.

In this case it's an advantage. If your enemy has a blind spot you exploit it.

A lot of people don't realise SKG is a foothold in exactly that fight. If you establish precedent on something as "frivolous" as video games you can use it on much higher value thing too.

This is what the GPL was meant to fight against. Having boxes running software that is still under the control of the manufacturer.

Instead people complained that it was hard to use the code at work. YES. THAT'S THE POINT.

My point was that they fabricated a pretense to avoid needing one, just as you said. You're making the same fucking point.

Did you stop reading at that point?
